Cue editor
Create manual, relative and clock-timed cues. Keep general direction and every technical instruction in one line.
One reliable workspace for showcallers, audio, video, lighting and every screen that needs to know what happens next.
Your timeline, timing and next cue in one clear view.
The right technical instructions for each discipline.
Speakers, microphones and resources linked to your cues.
Build the rundown together, give each department the detail it needs and call the live run from a cockpit designed for the moment.
Create manual, relative and clock-timed cues. Keep general direction and every technical instruction in one line.
Audio, video and lighting see their own work first, can reveal other columns and keep private cue notes.
Send current/next, clocks, countdowns or selected departments to backstage, dressing rooms and technical positions.
Bring the playing video and its remaining time into ShowCue. Keep the showcaller, backstage and presenter displays informed from QLab 5 or vMix—even when both are in use.
The ShowCue Connector runs on a local computer. A Windows PC can follow QLab on your Mac, vMix, or both. Pause and playback changes follow the player, with a clear indication if the connection is lost.
Available under Companion → Video playback. Windows download includes a short manual. This preview supports QLab Video cues and individual vMix Video inputs.
Connect ShowCue directly to Bitfocus Companion and a Stream Deck—without a bridge application. Call GO from Companion and let each cue press a local Companion button instantly.
Companion calls GO through one secure POST URL. ShowCue presses cue buttons directly over localhost or your LAN.
A showcaller needs control. An audio engineer needs audio detail. A backstage screen needs clarity. ShowCue gives each role the right interface without creating separate versions of the rundown.
Keep the next handover in view. See who needs which microphone, what comes next and how much time is left, right on your phone.
Know which speakers and microphones are needed now and next.
A clear countdown helps your crew prepare for the next cue.
Open your display in the browser and keep the show in view backstage.
Set the production, venue, colours and technical departments.
Add cues, timing and instructions for every discipline.
Give each technician access to the view and notes they need.
Call cues from one cockpit while every screen follows live.
Prepare your show for free. Choose 24-hour access when you are ready to go live, or save with a monthly or yearly subscription. Every option covers one workspace.
For independent showcallers and compact productions.
For production companies with multiple shows and disciplines.
Prepare up to 5 shows with 5 people, including the owner, without a subscription. Add cues and media and invite crew before you pay. The workspace owner activates paid access when it is time to go live. Invited crew do not need their own subscription to work on your shows. Running shows live in another workspace requires separate active access.
Invite people from a show's Crew page. Invitations grant access to that show only. The workspace owner creates and edits shows. Invited Showcallers can run the assigned show, but cannot create shows in your workspace or edit its runbook. Technicians use technical consoles; Viewers can only watch. Existing workspace members keep their current permissions; new workspace invitations are no longer available.
Solo includes 5 active shows and 5 people. Studio includes unlimited active shows and 25 people. The owner, existing workspace members, show guests and pending show invitations count toward the people limit. The same person across multiple shows counts once. Draft shows and copies count as active shows; archived shows do not. These limits also apply to day passes.
Without active access, you can keep preparing shows and working with crew within the free preparation limits. Starting and controlling live runs requires paid or complimentary access. Automatic cues and Companion commands also stop when access expires; the current controller can still end a run. Cancellation ends access immediately. A day pass expires 24 hours after payment, so buy it when you are ready to go live.
A day pass is a one-time payment and gives 24 hours of access from the moment of payment. Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled. Secure payment via Mollie.
Create your first show and bring the whole technical team into one live workflow.
